It's actually the opposite of news. There is in fact nothing NEW at all about it. There is no new science or imagery here. Every time I click on a BBC video I'm reminded again why I should never bother anymore. Not only are the photos absolutely NOT "like never seen before" as falsely advertised in the title, but the video never even bothers to explain WHY the images look as unique as they do. He's using a "Quark" heated mica etalon based hydrogen alpha emission filter from Daystar to isolate the chromosphere and thereby image filaments, plage, and spicules within its structure.

[@benjimanlee]

Yeah, it’s not, it’s actually the brightest white you’ll ever see. The reason it always looks gold or yellow or orange or red is because they have to use filters to be able to see the details, without this filters we would only see white light.

Absolutely amazing work to be able to see the texture of the sunlight that is absolutely unreal

[@canuckfixit7722]

The Sun, a "main sequence" star, doesn't operate much differently than any other star that we know about. However, it is close enough for us to study as we wish. Owing to its immense size, all the images you see in this video are truly snapshots of patterned photons representing >quadrillions of nuclear fusion reactions contained by sheer gravity of an unearthly magnitude that can stagger the human mind. If videos were presented, it would look like the surface of the sun was "boiling". I might add that the photons that were captured in these images and those you observe every day as light are anywhere from 10,000 to 170,000 years old! Thats how long it takes for photons created in a fusion reaction deep within the Sun to reach the photosphere. Truly awesome!

Fun sun facts: - The sun is 99.9% of the entire mass of the solar system! The remaining 0.1% mass is mostly comprised of Jupiter and Saturn. - The Earth is like a _tiny_ pebble next to a 10-pin bowling ball compared to the sun - The sun provides a cosmic ~173,000 terawatts _non-stop_ to the Earth with clean fusion power, yet all that power is only a tiny tiny amount of the sun's total power output - All the _combined_ fissile and fossil fuel on Earth would be like a bucket in an ocean compared to the sun

I have a pair of eclipse glasses I picked up for just over a pound and I can see some of the bigger sun spots without a telescope (not sure if I am supposed to look at the full sun with them but hey)! You can see them change day by day, its truly amazing. We consider the sun featureless and constant when it is nothing of the sort! We are coming up to the solar maximum in 2025, part of the ~11 year cycle of the sun so now is a great time to watch the sun!

[@AllanMcAllister-x4m]

Yes next year is the maximum in the cycle.but it's not the 11yr cycle it's the 45_50yr cycle and it's also why there's a surge in earthquakes and why we will be seeing more volcanic eruptions over the next 3yr .

You don't need much aperture for solar work, although it does help. I agree though, that the brass coloured 60mm scope you see him sitting at most likely didn't take the highly magnified shots. That was most likely a larger aperture "normal" scope with a multi-stack solar filter attached.
